Hi everyone,

I apologize if this isn't directly related to Cocoa, but I suddenly
realized that I don't understand why id should be necessary. Why
isn't NSObject (or some other root class) enough?


NSObject is a Cocoa framework concept. Objective-C is not bound to Cocoa.

Additionally even within Cocoa not all objects inherit from NSObject
(some just conform to the NSObject protocol).
